Cool

Scott,

I got mine from Xtreme in Harlow (pretty cheap from what I remember).

Have mounted it in the corner of the pillar in a TIM case(it's the 2nd one i've put in a Scooby).

The only problem I have found (unless you use a fluid guage) with some of the boost guages is that they can receive too much air to them. The cure I have found is to either buy a quite expensive alloy bleed valve (Tee) or do as I did and get a plastic one from an aquatic shop !! ,adjust the amount of air to the guage and it works a treat.

I hope any of this info helps,

Darren

If you can find the part number which I dont have you can actually order one from your local Subaru dealer they wont know it is on there system which is why you need to find the part number.I do know that Scoobysport had some and it may be worth giving Pete a bell.

Alternatively order an STI and have it fitted by the dealer in Japan as I did!!!

Bit of an expensive way of doing it but I do now have a set of instructions in Japanese on how to fit it!!!!

Yeh, your right it would be expensive.

How much would it work out in fuel to drive my WRX back to Japan.

Cheers Anyway....

Hmmm, i had the instructions in English, but dont know where they are now !

I also have the part number, but you will be lucky to find a dealer that will order them for you, because they cant find it on their system they wont order it! They are cheaper than Graham Goode though, by about 50 quid i think!

Hello! I have a gorgeous HKS column mounted boost guage with pod. It is the 46mm one and is backlit - green with a red needle. Luckily, a friend fitted it for me as I am probably challenging for the biggest technical/mechanical luddite on the BBS.

Cost -£130 approx plus a chinese!

Cheers,

Jon.

PS Got the HKS gauge and pod from Hiteq who were very good indeed!
